• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

About Carbon

CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.

Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub. and on our Gerrit CarbonDev Gerrit.

We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.

Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.

While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

Support

We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:

1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.

2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ

3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.

4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.


Who is Team Carbon?

Carbon Team


Remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us! If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

somebody on the now closed thread said there was a problem with today's nightly.
Has anyone flashed this successfully yet and how is it?
I ran carbon a few times with 4.3 and it was pretty good.
Thanks in advance

I just flashed the most recent nightly, and after a couple random reboots after downloading stuff from the play store, all is working fine for me now. I am using KToonSez 2/3 kernel and looks pretty damn smooth.

Edit: After letting it settle, has gotten less stable. Getting reboots every once and again.

Edit2: And now it seems to be smooth again. Changed the KTweaker profile I was using and that seemed to help out a bit (Smooth Criminal profile and Lateralus script).

Maybe you can help because I cannot locate them on this new version. Where are the features such as Halo & ribbons located? They used to be in menu under the old "Interface" heading but I do not see that anymore.

If you don't see the feature, chances are its not implemented yet. We are working all the time to bring all features back to 4.4, but it takes time ☺

Perfect, thanks, I was trying to figure out the difference between the features lists and screenshots provided! With multiple devices and platforms supported I'm sure keeping it straight on your end is even more confusing.

Hah yeah, it can be a tad confusing sometimes ? but thanks for understanding.
We are hard at work to bring everything back, and are going quickly toward it!
